Civil and environmental engineering includes the conception, analysis, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of a diversity of structures, facilities, and systems. All are built on, in, or with soil or rock. The properties and behavior of these materials have major influences on the success, economy, and safety of the work. Figure 3-24. Fig. 3-24a, p. 69.
